The School for International Training (SIT) invites proposals from researchers and scholars to contribute to a roundtable discussion focused on the following areas: climate and the environment; development and inequality; education and social change; geopolitics and power; global health and well-being; identity and human resilience; and peace and justice.

Papers presented at the Roundtable will be considered for publication in SIT’s flagship journal, Journal of Critical Global Issues. The Journal of Critical Global Issues is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that contributes to SIT’s mission to create a forum for scholars and professionals in diverse settings to address the most critical global issues in pursuit of a more sustainable, peaceful, and just world. The Journal of Critical Global Issues aspires to support respectful communities, foster intercultural understanding, advocate for social justice and inclusion, and promote sustainability. We seek contributions from diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives to join us for this event.
